Modern microkernels deliver stability, security, performance (look it up if you want the details). Back when I did CS we were talking about this as the next big thing in operating systems. It didn't happen - common operating systems in

We need Europeans need to rid ourselves from American big tech used in government functions. This is simply unacceptable.

Huawei is probably the one that possibly might move away from arm because they have their own operating system. The US could tighten their controls more and ban them from arm altogether- so far they are prohibited from arm 9. I am not sure

Most of the high end Chinese chips are based on ARM as of now.

I think they are just ahead of the curve - Twitter and Facebook are also abandoning human moderation possibly in favor of some algorithmic solution.

This guy is a clown and I really wish Europe didn’t buy anything from his horrible company.

I just find this crazy - you can have good public infrastructure without be authoritarian.

I don’t see what this has to do with authoritarianism. If anything it is an example of the opposite.

I have been on trains in Denmark a plenty and our public transport planning is slow and bureaucratic. We could learn from this example - both in major cities and areas where demand is too scattered to justify regular routes.

Sadly I think weapons are going to be the next big Chinese export boom. Russia has its capacity for exports limited by the Ukraine war. And as this example (plus drones) demonstrates Chinese tech is clearly good enough.

But you can if you live in a well functioning democratic society - remember the alternative is not no id but privatized for profit identity providers like Google and Facebook.

You have plenty of government id's in the US as well. Driver licenses, tax number, birth certificates ... I think often people mess up the subjects of privacy, freedom and a government provided id. You can have privacy and freedom even

Identity providing is a natural monopoly and should be provided by the state in same manner as a passport is provided. We can discuss the implementation but in Denmark and quite a few other countries, the login problem in online government

It is technically possible to make this solid. Much in the same way that you can make a piece of client side software next to impossible to pirate by having it in part run on a central server.

Just to be clear - I don't support this and I think India is dangerously overestimating its advantages. I am just describing what I have seen in Indian media.

Yes. Right now the thinking in the west seems to be that India has a bigger role to play in terms of geopolitics as a replacement of / balance against China. And India seems to have picked up on this and sees a greater opportunity to a

There is a lot of Indian English-language media on YouTube and Twitter. There the war drums have been sounding strongly for the past weeks. They seem to draw a parallel between India/Kashmir/Pakistan and Israel/Gaza/Iran

All LLMs are trained on the same basic blob of data - mostly in English, mostly pirated books and stuff.

Yes. A parking camera / screen is a straight up improvement compared to relying on windows and skill. People who complain about screens are usually not complaining about that but rather about common functionality that used to be a sing

Hard to be fully open source if you train on copyrighted material. Anyway. Deepseek is the most open of the sota models.

The Sinophobia going through America is a form of insanity causing America to do enormous harm to itself. From banning open source software to destroying the business of its largest and most profitable companies.

My guess is that they will use this as an excuse to confiscate Chinese held treasury bonds at one point.

In a terms of US politics - yes. But not in any meaningful scientific sense - I believe the mainstream science view is (still?) that it was likely a spillover event similar to the original SARS epidemic.

Yeah. Semianalysis seems to have a bit of an attitude when it comes to all things China. Relying on secondary/tertiary sources and a lot of Twitter trash talk. In particular I think they are underestimating Huawei/SMICs production

Trump admin has had rumblings about preventing Comac's access to the leap engine all the way back to the first admin. They can easily do this.

Interesting to see what will happen to the Comac C919 which relies on a large number of US parts including the French/US leap engine. I would expect them to have substitutes for all of the components but a trade embargo will likely set

As far as I know in Europe TEMU sends stuff from local fulfillment centers. So maybe TEMU US can return in that form if the trade conflict settles.
